Henk Fraser hopes that Vitesse will win the final of the TOTO KNVB Cup next Sunday at the expense of Ajax. The now trainer of Sparta Rotterdam was the one who steered the first main prize into Vitesse’s trophy cabinet on April 30, 2017 when AZ was defeated 0-2 in the final battle. Fraser hopes for a nice final and is therefore going well. “I don’t think anyone will blame me for preferring Vitesse to win. You always have a feeling for the club and the people you have worked with. ”

Fraser is especially fond of football players who make ‘the game’ special. Both Erik ten Hag and Thomas Letsch have access to this, he assures. “I absolutely love someone like Dusan Tadic,” said Fraser on Tuesday The Telegraph. “Because of the way he plays and how I see him as a person. He has so many qualities, always maintains his value to the team and his personality makes him an example to many players. So balanced and an absolute leader. These are people with whom I have a lot of feeling. Just like I have with Oussama Tannane. ”

Fraser and Tannane have known each other since childhood at PSV, the Under-19. At the time, the trainer already thought the playmaker was ‘a super special player’. Fraser finds it funny that such players are ‘always viewed differently’. “When a match is difficult, these types of guys immediately evoke a lot of resistance. It also depends on my personal preference, but I like people who don’t have a double agenda. ”

“If he is angry with you, you will notice. If he is happy with you, you will notice it, ”Fraser emphasizes. “Many people in the football world think about what they get from certain actions or behavior. Me too. These kind of guys react straight forward. Impulsive. They don’t think about what other people think is logical or sensible. ”
